The world has an urgent need for more environmentally friendly materials, so researchers from all around the world are concentrating on developing new materials that will improve the environmental quality of products. Utilizing composites made from unprocessed natural/agro-waste fibres and polymer matrices has been one of the most actively researched areas in recent years due to the demand for innovative green materials. Natural fibre composites are an alternative to synthetic materials that are environmentally harmful and help to reduce pollution. They also cost less, have better mechanical qualities, and need less energy during production. Additionally, by reducing production wastes, the use of such materials in fabrication projects offers the opportunity to improve their sustainability. The science of rheology examines how materials change when a force is applied. Most of these substances are liquids or substances that resemble liquids. The applications discussed here are for molten polymer systems (viscoelastic). For a better understanding of raw material quality control, production procedures, and final product performance prediction, rheology is a helpful and practical instrument. The involvement of fibres and fillers in the rheological properties of polymer composites is made clearer by rheology in particular. In this paper, the rheological characteristics of natural fibre polymer composites are succinctly and briefly explained.
